🤝 Kids n play ot
I’m so lucky to share my office space with Michelle Nigl-Chang, OTR/L, a highly skilled occupational therapist and owner of Kids N Play OT.
Michelle provides individualized, play-based occupational therapy for children in a nurturing and fun environment. If your child could benefit from OT services, I highly recommend reaching out to her.
